gamesnz 28 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 And I also love how the crowd is really supporting every country that entries. Those Paralympic athletes deserve more cheers than any Olympic athlete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rominger 26 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Seems like all the athletes went to the ceremony, unlike the Olympic. Always nice to see this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmaniS 5 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I meant fighting their body. If you only have five athletes, to choose from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really a fair analogy...quite a few Olympic athletes were competing the next day, especially swimming, or in the case of Football, already. OC at night a distraction.

gamesnz 28 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 The athletes are loving it. And those volunteers how awesome is that? I'm enjoying their dancing and energy. This parade of athletes looks better than the olympic one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexjc 354 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 United States just rolled out a huge team... I think they do "get the Paralympics" thing mentions a few posts back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OC at night a distraction. I know, but still the number of athletes who went to the OC seems like the same as tonight. And a lot left the stadium right after they entered.

The Tower Bridge Fox 47 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Very pleasant ceremony liked the beach section. some of the puppetry reminded my of London's parylimpic opening. and the athlete's parade is dare I say slightly less tacky then the Olympic opening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMarkSnow2012 386 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 The music is about 124 bpm, roughly the same as the Olympic athletes' parade- yet somehow it seems livelier ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 333 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I love the Portuguese language. I love how it seems to strive to be as similar as possible to Spanish while still doing things slightly differently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
